Schreiner: Ford is committed to wasting tax payer dollars

March 6, 2026

GUELPH — Mike Schreiner released the following statement responding Ford considering creating an artificial island to build a new convention centre in Toronto.

“At a time when people are wondering where their next paycheque is coming from and thousands are having to make the impossible choice between a roof and food, this Premier is busy showing us that the only thing he is committed to is wasting taxpayer dollars.

From a luxury spa to a tunnel under the 401 and now a new island, it’s clear that this government is totally out of touch with everyday Ontarians. 

It’s time for Doug Ford to stop prioritizing the wealthy and well-connected and start delivering on the things that will actually make life better and more affordable for everyday Ontarians.”
